Rare Japanese Whiskies to Be Auctioned Off

After Jim Murray declared Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013 the finest whisky in the world, it cemented the fact that Japanese whisky was having a moment. And if you’re serious about your hooch from the Far East, you’ll be interested in what Bonhams is auctioning off soon. More than 380 extremely rare Japanese single malts will be going on the block in early February, and the collection features sought-after bottles from some famous closed distilleries. Ichiro’s Malt and its killer card labels are one of the highlights among the bottles that could fetch in the tens of thousands individually.
